Another super important issue.....grading.
A large percentage of Lab Grown Diamonds on the market are graded by IGI.
They are much softer than GIA on average. So we'd need to take that 93%back E/VS1 IGI graded diamond, and fairly grade it- likely G SI1...now, all of a sudden it's only 85% back.
Although it sounds like an 8% difference, 93 back, to 85 back is approximately a 50% difference in price!
